weapon modelling, does it need 2 b closed?

[SCARE]

im just wondering if when u model a weapon does it have to be the same as when you model a map, does it have to be a closed world? or can you have like seperate objects that are seperate from the whole thing?

[rossmum]

No. Sealed world rules don't apply to weapons.

[SCARE]

so does that mean you can have open edges in your model???

[rossmum]

Yes.

[metkillerjoe]

Yes.

Now here is a question: Do you, rossmum, have open-edges on your models? .

Btw, I didn't know you didn't need to stick with the S.W.R. to make weapons.

You learn something new everyday .

[rossmum]

No idea, I don't get them ingame. I think I did have a few... once.

You don't need to follow sealed world because you don't normally make a collision model.
None of my older models even for vehicles were sealed - they had a separate model for the collision.
Only collision models and BSPs need to follow Sealed World Rules - and that's just because bungie was dumb when making the collision plane allocation. There really is no reason why you can't have open edges.

Sweet.
